looks L4D2_FullRestart() work like mp_restartgame rather than Game Restart Vote
that mean if server map start as "map c1m2" etc, he wont change to first level
but usually not problem normal play

Hello, there is a problem with L4D_OnSpawnSpecial forward.
It seems like L4D_OnSpawnSpecial forward can fire even if game prevented special infected spawn because of SI limits (dead SI counts too). Is it possible to make this forward not to fire when SI limits exceeded?
I tried to resolve the problem of missing special infected without modifying SI limits using HookEvent("player_death") and kicking killed SI on next frame, but I think it's wrong solution according to fact that some plugins use Timers when someone is killed.

Unless your intent is to modify the zombieClass spawing, use the "L4D_OnSpawnSpecial_Post" forward instead and check the client index, as the include file describes "The client index who spawned. Can be 0 if spawning failed" - so I guess it would be 0 in those cases? Please report back if that's true. Thanks.

Hello, thank you for your advice but I use L4D_OnSpawnSpecial forward to modify or prevent zombieClass spawning.
Here are some notes from testing L4D_OnSpawnSpecial_Post forward. I used "L4D_SetClass()" and "SetClientName()" to change SI class and its name. As you said client index is equal to 0 but only when we block SI spawn in L4D_OnSpawnSpecial forward. Unfortunetely, I can't tell what client index is equal when game blocks SI spawn by itself because I'm not at home right now but it's > 0 for sure.

Instead of using "L4D_OnSpawnSpecial" to change class, try using "L4D_OnSpawnSpecial_Post" to change the class with "L4D_SetClass" as you were saying, if a client index is valid. If you want to block then use the pre-hook forward. You can post the code or PM me the code and I'll look at it when I get a chance.

With that being said, you should be able to change or block the zombie in "L4D_OnSpawnSpecial" and use the "L4D_OnSpawnSpecial_Post" to get the valid bot index spawning. If at that point the game still spawns but kicks or blocks the SI from spawning due to limits then you would have to add your own test into the function to check limits. This is not something I would like to add into the forward itself because that would be restricting other plugins who may want to detect the limit being reached and temporarily change it to allow the bots to spawn. If you write this limit check code, please share it for others to see.

L4D_OnSpawnSpecial_Post forward has the same issue, bot index is valid when AI director blocks SI spawn.
The main problem is How to get proper SIs limit value to compare with current spawned/dead SIs (that is the first thing I thought about). Using L4D_OnGetScriptValueInt forward with "MaxSpecials" or "cm_MaxSpecials" keys doesn't provide the value I need.

Hello, got some reports here.

• Seems like some return values as CBaseEntity are not changed to "-1" if plugins decide to block the function. For example, L4D_OnSpawnTank_Post is forwarded with client 0 when L4D_OnSpawnTank gets Plugin_Handled ([SM] Exception reported: Client index 0 is invalid).
• ^, but it's L4D_OnEnterGhostState. I have no idea why when L4D_OnEnterGhostStatePre is Plugin_Handled the post hook is still invoked. Maybe it's a move by DHooks.

And a weird one where I cannot get L4D2_OnPlayerFling detoured by your plugin last time testing a plugin. No further confirming it's an actual issue, maybe SM1.11 is to blame.

Ahh I see "L4D2_OnPlayerFling" line was missing to detect it. Thanks.

Post hooks will always fire as that's the end of the function being detoured. Will set some indexes to 0 or -1 where applicable, hopefully those can be checked in post to validate it's not being blocked. Was possibly thinking of setting a flag if a pre hook is blocked so the post would never fire. Thoughts?
